Courchevel Reviews & Ratings

Fantastic resort with first class facilities and lifts. Expensive due to popularity but quality is high.

Courchevel 1850 is a great family friendly resort to go to. In regards to ski school, I attended from age 3-11, with slopes for all abilities- le creux in particular is a slope favourite of mine in the mornings. Whilst the resort also contains a family park with jumps etc which I especially loved as a child. The resort also contains an ice skating rink as well as many restaurants like le fromagerie. With access to both meribel and val Thorens, this resort has a great number of slopes as well as being one of the largest skiable terrains.

Courchevel is a picturesque resort with really well looked after slopes. Furthermore, the area has a good range of slopes for beginnners, intermediates, experts, and freestyle skiers.

This luxury comes at a price however, which is the price!

Pistes are always really well looked after, loads of snow cannons and piste badgers to manage all slopes. Large off piste run run marked out but plenty to explore too

Great resort. Better for advanced skiers and boarders. It is fairly expensive and better to head into the 3 valleys for lunch.

Courchevel and the trois vallées great ski rssort and caters for most levels although some of the runs are steeper on the Greens so may prove challenging for complete beginners. 1850 is marvelous and snow conditions generally a lot better especially this year where snow falls were a bit more sporadic. Whilst some other resorts like Les gets had very little new snow falls, Courchevel 1850 had good snow falls and conditions with a few days here and there being very foggy however the days we had clear blue skies and minimal winds we had a great skiing experience.

Some of the best skiing in France. Connections to the rest of the 3 vallees are easy and efficient. The resort is big enough and lifts are well situated to keep everyone moving.

Ive been skiing at this resort since I was three years old (I am now in my late teens) and it is great lots of variation of runs and great easier slopes for beginners

Expensive, but worth it. Massive variety and lots of options for food and drinks on the mountain. Lots of different options across all the different Courchevel villages, from a slight more english experience in La Tania to the high end luxury of 1850 and the other fantastic options of 1650 and Le Praz.

Deserved reputation as one of the most luxurious resorts in the world. Massive wide open groomed slopes. Efficient lifts. Everything is effortless. On the downside lacks traditional character

Deciding to learn to ski at the age of 52, probably wasn't a great idea, however I went with my wife who ski's everyear and my brother and sister in-law, both having 40 years experience. Staying at 1650 in the perfect chalet, I have to say we we're spoilt. We eat out every lunchtime, and had a lovely meal during one of the evenings in 1650. After learning to ski in a day at a local indoor ski slope, I should have taken more lessons, as on my first day I fell over around 28 times. However after some fantastic coaching from my brother and sister in-law, I managed to ski a black run by the fourth day. We were able to ski out straight to a lift that took us over to 1550. Skiing in the 3 valleys was simply amazing. Having interconnected lift's throughout, positioned perfectly to move to another valley was just so simple. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to eat and drink at. Courchevel is not cheap, with a beer costing around 8, but the food was similar priced to the UK. We went there off season I think, the last week of January. It was perfect and now that I'm hooked we are all planning on going there again soon in the new year.

Slick resort with good green/blue/red runs for intermediate skiers and efficient lifts with (mid March) no queues. Snow was thinning out and afternoons slushy, but Courchevel os north facing so lasts better than Meribel etc.

High end resort but amazing skiing. Beautiful runs and plenty of tree runs to be explored in the lower part of the resort. Quite expensive to stay in courchevel as are the restaurants. But there are cheaper options if on a budget, take away places for lunch etc. family friend with picnic rooms and activities and easily connected to meribel if you want to explore another resort during your stay!
My favourite place is La tania!

Highly recommend Courchevel, it has something for everyone and the scope of the terrain across the 3 valleys is enormous. Ive skied here in pretty much every snow condition and its always great. If the snow is good the off piste is huge, especially between the Courchevel and Meribel valleys.

The slopes are great and views are stunning. You feel like you could ski for months on end and still have places to discover.

Fantastic ski resort.
We stayed at Courchevel 1650, rented our skis from Tobias at WhiteStorm who sorted me out with a pair of black crows for the week (best skis Ive ever used).
Lifts were efficient, comfortable and not too busy compared to 1850 where queues were longer.
Shuttle buses running throughout the day / night till 1am getting you up and down the mountain to and from bars.
As for the skiing, it feels as if you can never run out of things to do with easy links to Méribel and val thorens making it the largest ski area in the world with plenty of opportunity to go off piste.
As for apres bars on the slopes, courchevel does not quite compare to meribel or val thorens, and we found ourselves in need of a taxi back from meribel which costs well over 100. It would be very useful to have a shuttle bus running between valleys in the evening.

Muy agradable para esquiar y estar en familia. Voveré sin dudas. Me divirtió mucho las pistas y el apresski.

Awesome resort, large ski area with high speed lifts. Quiet slopes in 1650/Moriond early in the week .
